"Sideways" lyrics
"Sideways"
You're so revealing
You're here but you're not tonight
Your eyes on the ceiling
Your body away from mine
Yeah, you play games with love
Yeah, you play games with love until it's gone
You never get enough
You never get enough of what you want
I miss looking at you sideways
Face to face with your lips on mine
And our legs on the pillowcase
Sideways
Late at night with your love lying next to mine
I miss looking at you sideways, sideways, sideways
I miss looking at you sideways, sideways, yeah
It must be appealing
To twist me up like you do
Then dangle your words like diamonds
They cut me, but I see through
Yeah, you play games with love
Yeah, you play games with love until it's gone
You never get enough
You never get enough of what you want
I miss looking at you sideways
Face to face with your lips on mine
And our legs on the pillowcase
Sideways
Late at night with your love lying next to mine
I miss looking at you sideways, sideways, sideways
I miss looking at you sideways, sideways, yeah
'Cause it hurts me to watch you leave
And it hurts me to watch you stay
And I know what it's gonna be
But I just wanna stay sideways
I miss looking at you sideways
Face to face with your lips on mine
And our legs on the pillowcase
Sideways
Late at night with your love lying next to mine
I miss looking at you sideways, sideways, sideways
I miss looking at you sideways, sideways, yeah
I miss looking at you sideways
Face to face with your lips on mine
And our legs on the pillowcase
Sideways
Late at night with your love lying next to mine
I miss looking at you sideways, sideways, sideways
I miss looking at you sideways, sideways, yeah

"Sideways" is the second single from ZAYN's fifth studio album, "KONNAKOL". The song was premiered via Mercury Records/Island Records UK on March 27, 2026, following the lead single
"Die For Me". He shared a video snippet of himself singing a fragment of the song on social media and wrote in the caption,
"Thank you,as always, for your love and support. Big love to each and every single one of you - couldn't do it without you."
Speaking about the inspiration of his new music, ZAYN explained, "Konnakol in its definition is the act of creating percussive sounds with one's voice but what it means to me lies somewhere much deeper. It is a sound that holds the reverberation of a time before words existed. I have always drawn on my heritage for inspiration since I first started making my own music, this album is a development of that understanding, knowing more now than ever, who I am, where I come from and where I intend to go."

She's the giggle at a funeral

Major Lazer - "Cold Water" Everybody gets high sometimes, you know
What else can we do when we're feeling low?
So take a deep breath and let it go

Cruisin' down a heart-shaped highway

I'll be your baby, on a Sunday
